*where* do you live??? it's possible we can help you locate a vet .... you *need* to find one! all we can do from this board is guess at what it could be ... even with pix, it's too hard to tell without actually examining the ig ....
it *does* sound like an abcess/infection ... but even if we could tell you *for sure* that's what it is, only a vet can give your ig the medicine s/he needs to heal!
this *can* be extremely serious because if it's an infection it *will* spread and could possibly be fatal! you need to find some medical help for your ig *before* it gets *that* far ... since igs are cold-blooded, it takes them longer to heal and so it is *important* to have your ig seen soon and started on prescription antibiotics asap if necessary!
but you need to do this *before* it turns into a big deal!!!
tell us where you're at and we'll see if we can point you towards an ig-vet ok?

what's your iglet's name???? the dragon was about that size when he moved in with me *grin*

oh ... and welcome to *the* board!
